Description:
Rubin Saltzman letter to journalist Joe Brainin agreeing with him on the importance of the Order fighting Anti-Semitism. Intimates that the Order needs help in presenting its case as the pressures of the Cold War increasingly determine how the Order is perceived.
Notes:
The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
